The regioselectivity of the DA reaction is predicted by the ortho–para rule which has been explained from FMO theory. Using DFT calculations and ASM/EDA, we found that the results vary depending the position where it is performed.

Quantum chemistry in the form of density functional theory (DFT) calculations is a powerful numerical experiment for predicting intermolecular interaction energies. However, no chemical insight is gained in this way beyond predictions of observables. Energy decomposition analysis (EDA) can quantitatively bridge this gap by providing values for the chemical drivers of the interactions, such as permanent electrostatics, Pauli repulsion, dispersion, and charge transfer. These energetic contributions are identified by performing DFT calculations with constraints that disable components of the interaction. This review describes the second-generation version of the absolutely localized molecular orbital EDA (ALMO-EDA-II). The effects of different physical contributions on changes in observables such as structure and vibrational frequencies upon complex formation are characterized via the adiabatic EDA. Example applications include red- versus blue-shifting hydrogen bonds; the bonding and frequency shifts of CO, N2, and BF bound to a [Ru(II)(NH3)5]2 + moiety; and the nature of the strongly bound complexes between pyridine and the benzene and naphthalene radical cations. Additionally, the use of ALMO-EDA-II to benchmark and guide the development of advanced force fields for molecular simulation is illustrated with the recent, very promising, MB-UCB potential.

The hetero-Diels–Alder reactions of butadiene with Fe(CO)3-coordinated formylbutadiene and formyltrimethylenemethane catalyzed by Lewis acids have been theoretically studied through density functional calculations. The results obtained show that, for the reaction with (formylbutadiene)Fe(CO)3, the kinetically most favourable product is the one corresponding to the attack of butadiene on the s-cis conformer of the formylbutadiene fragment when the reaction is catalyzed by BF3, and the one corresponding to the attack on the s-trans conformer when the catalyst is TiCl4. On the other hand, for the reaction with (formyltrimethylenemethane)Fe(CO)3 catalyzed by BF3, the product corresponding to the attack on the s-trans conformer is predicted to be favoured. These results have been interpreted through an energy decomposition analysis of the potential-energy barriers.
